history
The Flaming Knights Motorcycle Club started in the garage of Leroy Bolden, aka King Dragon, 110 Hurlburt St. (1st Club House) in New Haven, Ct., April 27, 1968. When they first lit the first fire, it was because of brotherhood, the Iron and the Road. The 2nd Club House was on Dagget St, the 3rd Club House was on West st (corner of West St. and Congress Ave), the 4th was on Ella Grasso Blvd, and the 5th was at Chazmo Cafe on Dixwell Ave.
The name FLAMING KNIGHTS came from the way the fellows were promiscuous with the ladies, so since they thought they were hot, it was suggested by their ladies that they call themselves FLAMING KNIGHTS.
The SCHOLEY(colors) 5 GENERATIONS:
The 1st was embroidery (Red Writing with Gold Trim) with the word FLAMING on top and KNIGHT on the bottom … MC on the right below the word KNIGHT and to the left of MC was an English castle guard and later a knight on horse … and New Haven was below MC and symbol.
The 2nd was a three-piece patch with the same embroidery on yellow terry cloth and red writing.
The 3rd was a four-piece rocker with a knight on a motorcycle as the centerpiece.
The 4th was a single yellow patch shaped like a long-gated circle with FLAMING KNIGHTS on top … MC to the right …. a standing FLAMING KNIGHT holding a round shield on fire with the word ROY (in memory of King Dragon) in the saddle bag on the motorcycle in the center of the shield – in the center of the patch … the location of the chapter at the bottom of the patch—design by Little Dragon.
The 5th is the same as the 4th, except the knight in the center was done over/better. Commissioned by Little Dragon. Accepted by the National Flaming Knights Motorcycle Club at their National Meeting in Denver, Co. 1997. Also, at this meeting, the Landover, MD. chapter became the Mother Chapter, and Blackmagic became the Pres. of Pres. (National President) King Dragon was the 1st President of President – until his death (1/17/1994) Blackmagic is now the current President of President – 1996 – until his death
